there are two Norwegian languages? Why, and which one is the main one?

That’s more complicated than this. There are two official written standards. One of them mostly match the (older) main dialect, Bokmål, while the other one is an average of every other dialects, Nynorsk. Neither is the main one, the most used one depending on where you are in the country. I think Bokmål has more individual users than the other because Nynorsk was created for minor dialect speakers mainly, but it doesn’t affect anything from an administrative point of view.
